‘The Fall of the House of Usher’: Everything We Know About Mike Flanagan’s Adaptation

When Hollywood was just acres of orange groves, and the film industry was still centered in Fort Lee, New Jersey, books were already being adapted to movies. The first Shakespearean play was adapted for the screen in 1899 (King John), and the first feature-length film was an adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel Les Misérables in 1909. Some directors, like Alfred Hitchcock, worked almost entirely off adapted screenplays. While the attraction is easy to understand (a detailed story, fully developed characters, an audience ready to watch the book come to life), there's that ever-present risk of hearing that time-worn criticism: “The book is better than the movie.”

For Horror director Mike Flanagan, faithfulness to the book has always been secondary to his vision. After two movies based on Stephen King novels—Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game, Flanagan jettisoned the constraints of fidelity with his two Netflix miniseries: The Haunting of Hill House in 2018 (based on the Shirley Jackson novella of the same name) and The Haunting of Bly Manor in 2020 (based on the Henry James novella The Turn of the Screw). Both feature Flanagan's trademark combination of campiness, psychological insight, and insightful characterization mixed with traditional horror elements. And both use the source only as inspiration.

Like Flanagan’s Haunting miniseries, The Fall of the House of Usher is another horror miniseries adapted from classic literature written by Edgar Allan Poe. Fans are wondering what elements Flanagan will keep and what he will change. Will the result satisfy horror and Poe fans? How will it compare to his previous work? Read on for all the details we know so far about the project.
